Rhine Fireworks

Traveling to Germany is an unforgettable experience, but in my opinion, it is best to travel to the country during the months of May up to September. Aside from the renowned Oktoberfest, Germany also holds other festivals and national celebrations during that period. One such festival is a wine festival along the rivers of Moselle and Rhine in Germany.

You may be wondering, why hold a wine festival along the banks of the river when the wine farms are supposedly situated near the mountains where the climate is conducive to grape vine growing and grape harvesting? Well, the thing is, the highlight of this festival is the fireworks display over the Rhine. Of course, the fireworks happen during the night and during summer, and the good thing about this event is that it allows the participation of many countries. For seventy years, this festival has attracted audiences from the neighboring European countries and even as far as China.

When the black skies are illuminated by these fireworks, boats and ships parade on the waters of Rhine. Meanwhile, people on the shores of the river enjoy the magnificent display before their eyes. I am certain that when you get to be part of the crowd gathered on Rhine bank, you would agree that the spectacle is breathtaking.
